Blaze Pizza and MOD Pizza are two competitors in the casual pizza sector.
They were neck and neck in the race, but this year, MOD sales growth across the system was far superior to that of Blaze, according to Nation's Restaurant News.
I went to Blaze Pizza in Staten Island (New York) and MOD Pizza in Bellevue (Washington) to see what the channels were doing differently.
My meal at MOD was a winner on all fronts, especially in terms of speed, taste and customization. However, Blaze made a better dessert.

There is more than one way to draw a pie.
And there is more than one way to run a national chain of casual restaurants offering custom pizzas à la carte. MOD Pizza and Blaze Pizza are neck and neck in the fast-casual-pizza run for quite some time. Blaze has been dubbed the fastest growing restaurant chain in history by the research company Technomic in 2017.
But in 2019, MOD's growth put Blaze out of the water, with system-wide sales increasing by more than 44%, according to Nation's Restaurant News. The Seattle-based channel plans to reach 1,000 locations over the next five years.
Both chains have almost identical concepts: fresh pizzas, quick to prepare, customizable with takeaway and draft beer.
So who does it better?

Since coming from Seattle, the mod was my first quick pizza. But I have often eaten at Blaze during my college years in the Midwest. I had not been there in years and so I did not have a favorite for this taste test.
I went to MOD and Blaze to compare the culinary experiences. I ordered much of the same meal: a salad, a bread-based appetizer, a personalized pizza, a chocolate-based dessert and a draft beer.
Here's how they compared:
